Hadith 4728
Abu Yunus Sulaim bin Jubair, client of Abu Hurairah, said: I heard Abu Hurairah recite this verse: “Allah doth command you to render back your trusts to those to whom they are due” up to “For Allah is he who heareth and seeth all things”. He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ putting his thumb on his ear and finger on his eye. Abu Hurairah said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reciting this verse and putting his fingers. Ibn Yunus said that al-Muqri said. “Allah hears and sees” means that Allah has the power of hearing and seeing. Abu Dawud said: This is a refutation of the Jahmiyyah.
Hadith 4976
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators. This version does not mention the Prophet ﷺ i. e, it does not go back to him. It has: He must say: “My master” (sayyidi) and “My patron” (mawlaya).
